The Château de Caen is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Europe. Palace of William the Conqueror, royal fortress and infantry barracks, each century of its history has left as many clues scattered over time, from the restored ramparts overlooking the keep to the Chessboard Room, the Church of Saint-Georges and the Governor's House.
